As a CCT sponsor, the Brita FilterForGood Music Project works with fans, artists and backstage crews to make concerts more sustainable by encouraging everyone involved to use reusable bottles filled with Brita® filtered water or a Brita® Bottle with a built-in water filter. The movement has helped concert-goers divert waste from landfills and keep money in their wallet by staying hydrated while rocking out to their favorite artists. To date, the campaign has saved more than 360 million plastic bottles from potentially ending up in landfills. Additionally, one Brita pitcher and Brita Bottle filter can replace up to 300 plastic bottles* from ending up in the trash and save anyone roughly $1,750** a year by switching from plastic bottled water to Brita filtered water.

Brita FilterForGood Music Project on TourConcert-goers can stop by the Brita FilterForGood Music Project tent to play games, win prizes and do their part to reduce bottled water waste by filling up a reusable Nalgene® bottle with free Brita filtered water. Brita also invites students to recycle their used Brita filters through the Preserve Gimme 5 program to receive a new filter in exchange while supplies last. Preserve Gimme 5 transforms the plastic from Brita pitcher and bottle filters into 100 percent recycled new Preserve products, like toothbrushes and razors. Visitors can also learn more about student programs like Hydrate U, a program designed to help colleges and student organizations reduce their bottled water waste by installing a Brita® Hydration Station™ on campus.

In 2007, Brita partnered with Nalgene® to create the FilterForGood® movement, which encourages people to reduce their bottled water waste by switching to reusable bottles filled with filtered water. Each year, Americans purchase billions of plastic water bottles; most of them end up in landfills. Since the campaign launch, more than 345,000 people*** have taken the pledge to reduce their bottled water waste, keeping an estimated 360 million disposable bottles* potentially out of landfills.
